'17 JC CB Jalin Burrell (Signed to New Mexico)
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
If he graduated from JC this spring, I am confused as to why he wouldn't join the team this fall? Haiku deficiencies aside.
Woot!

Limited scholarships left and probably needs to get all paperwork in. My guess is they are keeping a slot open for a QB transfer or they just don't have the one they had thought they would from Davis Webb. Etc.
From the article: "Burrell is taking nine credit units at Moorpark College this summer, and he will take another course in the fall before obtaining his AA degree in December. Burrell is on pace to transfer to Colorado next spring, and if he redshirts this fall as expected, he will have two years to play two with the Buffaloes."
So either he wasn't on track to graduate in May as projected or maybe he got caught up in those new NCAA requirements on JC transfers to D1. Either way, it explains the delay.
Seems like it. Would have been nice to have him with the team all fall, but having him in spring will be a boost to help backfill some losses. Kid looks like he has some good upside. Welcome to the BNG Jalin!
I'm liking this commit. Welcome.

I'm wondering if it's for potential academic reasons?
Not really... Jordan Carrell, Leo Jackson, Ahkello Witherspoon, Juwann Winfree, Drew Lewis, Kabion Ento, Afolabi Laguda, Kyle Trego, Sully Wiefels (and Shamar Hamilton should qualify to transfer in January with no problem)
There was a plan in place to get Burrell qualified to join the Buffs but unfortunately it just didn't pan out.

beware the habu
Good luck to him.
Wonder what the deal is with this kid. Was listed as a May 2016 graduate, with 3 to play 2. Then was committed to join us here in January, which would have meant 2 to play 2 (would have sat out this fall just going to school I assume). Is the kid going to get somewhere this January? Showing no visits.... Hate to see this.
grades...
Specifically if he is qualified, but did not have the class credits that would count towards a CU degree to get into CU, or if he just didn't qualify at all.
Glad he found a place to land
